Desperate attempt at relevance

The Herald reports:

The Deputy Prime Minister is rubbishing claims that social media posts he has made about opponents of the Regulatory Standards Bill are a breach of the Cabinet Manual.

In recent days, David Seymour made a series of social media posts singling out prominent opponents of the bill, and accusing them of suffering from “Regulatory Standards Derangement Syndrome”.

Wellington mayor Tory Whanau accused Seymour of setting a “dangerous precedent” for how dissenting voices were treated, and laid a formal complaint with the Prime Minister over the posts.

What has this to do with the Mayor of Wellington? Is this just an attempt to resurrect her failed political career by auditioning for a spot on the Green Party List?

Criticising people who make hysterical claims about a proposed law is called politics. To label it as suppressing dissent is, well, hysterical.
